4. After proper depth is reached, install a well seal or pitless
adapter to support pipe and prevent surface water and other
contaminants from entering well.
INSTALLATION (CONT'D)
5. Slope the horizontal pipe upward toward the pump to eliminate
trapping air. Sloping the pipe will also aid in priming the pump.
DRIVEN WELL (FIGURE 12 ON PAGE 11)
1. Drive the point several feet below the water table.
NOTE: A packer type foot valve can be installed in the well (Figure
2, Illustration B). This type of foot valve allows the well to be filled
with water when priming and makes the inlet pipe much easier to
test for leaks. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when installing
the packer type foot valve.
As an alternative, an in-line check valve can be used with a driven
well (Figure 2, Illustration C). The pipe between the check valve and
the water level will always be under a vacuum.
Leaking joints or couplings will allow air to leak into the pipe and
cause abnormal pump operation. Make sure to use pipe joint
compound on all male pipe threads.

NOTE: When a lake is used as a water supply, make sure the
inlet pipe is deep enough to be submerged at all times. Slope the
horizontal piping upward toward the pump to prevent trapping
air. The pipe must be removed during winter months or protected
against freezing.Protect the pipe from damage from swimmers and
